Valid meme but hopefully it doesn't minimize the plight of Uyghurs in peoples minds.

Whataboutism, and possibly propaganda. They are both horrible and should not exist. Moral superiority doesn't matter if people are being systematically murdered.

When dealing with hypocrites, whataboutism is the correct and logically consistent response.

People who complain about whataboutism are 99% hypocrites whose hypocrisy has been pointed out. And they have no rational arguments to defend their view other than deflecting the topic.

(Mass dislikes time!)

Yes, the US does evil shit in the Middle East. Killing brown-skinned practitioners of the other Abrahamic religion overseas is an American tradition.

That still doesn't change the fact that China is persecuting Uyghurs in the Xinjiang province.

You can't shit-talk one authoritarian state and cheer on another.
